What Is SAP Business Application Studio?

SAP Business Application Studio is a new SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) service that offers a modern
development environment tailored for efficient development of business applications for the SAP Intelligent Enterprise.
SAP Business Application Studio is based on Code-OSS, an open source used for building Visual Studio Code. Available as a
cloud service, SAP Business Application Studio provides a desktop-like experience similar to leading IDEs, with command line
and optimized editors. At the heart of SAP Business Application Studio are the dev spaces. The dev spaces are comparable to
isolated virtual machines in the cloud containing tailored tools and preinstalled runtimes per business scenario, such as SAP
Fiori, SAP S/4HANA extensions, Work ow, Mobile and more. This simpli es and saves time in setting up your development
environment and allows you to efficiently develop, test, build, and run your solution locally or in the cloud.

Scenarios
SAP Business Application Studio provides a tailor-made development environment for various development scenarios, such as
SAP Fiori, SAP S/4HANA extension, and Work ow. With each of these scenarios, you can create different types of applications.
In the Dev Space Types section, you can learn about each scenario.
Capabilities
In SAP Business Application Studio, you are provided with one or more dev spaces. A dev space is a development environment
with all the tools, capabilities, and resources needed for developing your application. Each type of application requires a
different development environment. Based on the type of application that you choose to build, you're provided with a different
set of tools. You can add additional tools to supplement the application with additional extensions for the scenario.
The dev space is an isolated development environment providing a local-like development experience. Among other tools, it
provides terminal access to the le system so that you can run various commands. You can test-run your application in the dev
space itself without deploying to the target runtime (Cloud Foundry), almost as if you were working on your own desktop.
Unlike other desktop IDEs, SAP Business Application Studio is equipped with various tools specially built for developing business
applications in the SAP ecosystem.
These tools cover the end-to-end development cycle:
Clone an existing project with a Git client or create a new project using templates.
Use editors for SAP-speci c technologies.
Easily test your application on your dev space while consuming services from remote sources.
Build and deploy the application as a multitarget application (MTA).

More help when editor is readonly
Application
Studio With the introduction of readonly mode in VS Code
last milestone, editors can be readonly due to
workspace con guration.
2/6/2024

Component
This milestone, we enhanced the noti cation message in

the editor when you try to type in a readonly editor and in
some cases provide a link to change the
files.readonly settings.
Editor group split sizing changed to 'auto'
A new value for the

workbench.editor.splitSizing setting called
auto is the new default. In this mode, splitting an editor
group distributes the available size evenly to all editor
groups only if none of the editor groups has been
resized. Otherwise, the space of the split editor group is
divided in half and placed in the new editor group.
The intent of this change is to not break layouts that you

have created when you split, but still preserve the
previous default behavior of distributing the size evenly
otherwise.
Resizable content hover
It is now possible to resize the content hover control. You

can hover over the control borders and drag the sashes
to change the size of the hover.
Terminal - Image Support
Images in the terminal, which were previewed last

release, are now enabled by default. Images in a terminal
typically work by encoding the image pixel data as text,
which is written to the terminal via a special escape
sequence. The current protocols supported are sixel
and the inline images protocol pioneered by iTerm.
To test images manually, you can download and cat a

.six example le from the libsixel repository .
This feature can be disabled by setting:
"terminal.integrated.enableImages": false
Testing - Terminal output support
Previously, test output shown in the Test Results view

would always be shown in an embedded text editor. This
stripped it of rich styling such as colors, styles, and
symbols it may have had when run in a terminal. In this
release, we show output in a real xterm.js terminal.
Now that the Test Results view is fully featured, the

commands to Show Test Output have been redirected
to open the Test Results view instead of creating a
temporary terminal.
This list is based on the VS Code Updates document.

Dev Spaces in SAP Business Application Studio

A dev space is a development environment with the tools, capabilities, and resources needed for developing your application.
A dev space provides tailored tools and pre-installed runtimes for your business scenario. This simpli es and saves time in
setting up your development environment and allows you to efficiently develop, test, build, and run your solution locally or in the
cloud.
Each dev space type contains a set of prede ned extensions that help improve your experience.
An SAP Business Application Studio extension is a set of tools that help you perform a speci c development task. For example,
the Java Tools extension provides you with the tools that you need to develop a Java application. The Fiori Tools extension
includes the templates, CLI, and code completion required to create an SAP Fiori application.
During dev space creation, you can choose to add additional extensions to the dev space. The additional extensions provide
additional tools to supplement the application with additional components for the scenario to your developer environment. See
Additional Extensions.
You can also add extensions to an existing dev space. See Add Extensions to Your Dev Space.
When creating a new dev space, select the dev space type that best ts the application you want to create. See Dev Space
Types.
Con gure Your Dev Space Settings

You can con gure your preferred settings for working in the dev space:
2/6/2024
1. Open your dev space.
2. Navigate to File Preferences Settings .
3. Con gure your settings:
Keyboard shortcuts
Color theme
File icon theme
General preferences
 Note
Settings are relevant per dev space. You must con gure your settings for each dev space separately.
You can create, delete, stop, and start dev spaces. You can also download dev space content, and import dev space content. See
Working in the Dev Space Manager.
 Note
Dev spaces not used for more than 30 days are archived to save on disk space. You can still access them just like any other
dev space, but they might take up to 1 minute longer to load.
Using Additional Tools

It is possible to install additional tools on a dev space or consume additional software components for developing applications
using the terminal, the dedicated UI, or directly in the code.
 Note
SAP provides you with a mechanism to access third party sites to view and download open-source, 3rd party or its own tools,
libraries, or software components (“Extensions”) to dev spaces in SAP Business Application Studio. Using this mechanism,
you can view and install Extensions at your own risk.
SAP does not certify or endorse any of the third-party sites or Extensions, and they are not part of SAP Business Application
Studio.
You must ensure that you have all the necessary rights to use these Extensions.
You are responsible for all aspects of the Extensions, including maintenance, management, security, and support.
You will assume all responsibility for any negative effects caused by or relating to the Extensions.
SAP may disable any dev space that includes Extensions that cause system malfunction or that SAP reasonably believes
may cause harm to SAP systems.
Working in the Dev Space Manager

You can create, delete, stop, and start dev spaces. You can also download dev space content, and import dev space content.
Create a Dev Space

2/6/2024
You can generate a dev space to create and manage applications. You can select the application type that includes the
extensions that you need to do a development task.
1. Open SAP Business Application Studio and log in with your credentials.
2. Click Create Dev Space.
3. Enter a name for the dev space.
4. Select the relevant application type.
5. (Optional) Select the relevant additional extensions to enhance your space.
You can also add or remove extensions later. See the Add Extensions to Your Dev Space section.
6. Click Create Dev Space.
 Note
You can only click the button if you entered a dev space name.
 Note
Dev Space creation is in uenced by the application plan you are using.
If you are using a productive account, see SAP Business Application Studio Restrictions.
If you are using a free account, see Free Plan Restrictions.
Stop, Start, or Delete Your Dev Space

If you don't need to work with your dev space for a while, you can stop your dev space. When your dev space is running, it
consumes memory, energy, and CPU. If you don't use your dev space and it sits idle for a while, the dev space is stopped.
When you restart your stopped dev space, all content in your dev space, including les and settings, are available. If you want to
apply updates to extensions and bug xes, you must stop your dev space and start it again.
You can also delete your dev space.
 Note
By creating a dev space, you create a project and le system for yourself. If you delete your dev space, you can't recover it.
We recommend syncing, backing up, and saving your project to a Git repository. See Connect to Your Git Source Control
System.
Add or Remove Extensions

You can change the extensions you selected for your dev space.
1. From the Dev Space Manager, click to edit the dev space.
 Note
To edit an extension, the dev space must be in the stopped state.
2. Select the additional SAP extensions that you want to add, or clear the checkmark from extensions you want to remove.
3. Click Save Changes.
2/6/2024
Download Dev Space Content

You can download the dev space content in the following situations:
When your dev space is in the RUNNING state to save the dev space contents.
When your dev space is in the ERROR state to recover your data and move the contents to another dev space.
To download the content of your dev space, click and then Download.
If your dev space is in the ERROR state, after the download begins, the dev space state changes to STARTING. The dev space
state then changes to SAFE MODE and then the tar le downloads.
After the dev space changes to SAFE MODE, it's not possible to return to the RUNNING state. You can only download the dev
space content and delete the dev space.
When the export process is complete, the tar le, with the dev space content, is downloaded.
 Note
After exporting the dev space content, check the size of the dev space before uploading. Make sure that the size doesn't
exceed 10 GB.
Import Dev Space Content

After downloading the dev space content, you can import the content to another dev space:
1. Create a new dev space, start it, and open it.
2. From the Explorer view, click Open Folder.

Understanding the UI
SAP Business Application Studio provides a graphical user interface for executing Git commands and managing your source
control and versioning.
Understanding the UI
The Git view consists of three major sections. The top section is for authoring the commit messages. It also provides access to a
couple of basic Git commands.
2/6/2024
After this, you nd the commit section, which lists the changed les by their name and separates them in two groups:
Staged Changes - A list of the les that have been staged. Click to open the selected le, or to unstage it.
Changes - Files listed under the Changes section contain unstaged changes. Each le name is followed by a path to its
parent directory and an indicator describing the status of the change.
Click to open the selected le, to stage the le, or to refresh it.
The les can be in any of the following statuses:
A - A new le that has been staged.
U - An unstaged le. An unstaged change can be reverted by clicking on the Discard Changes action next to the le
location.
M - A modi ed le. Double-clicking on a modi ed le will open it in a diff editor. The read-only editor in the rst section
shows the state from the index. The second section of the editor re ects the state of the working tree, and it lets you to
further modify the le.
C - A copied le (if blue) or a con icted le (if red).
D - A deleted le.
At the bottom of the Git view you can see the last commit section, where a description of the most recent commit is displayed.
After staging the desired les and specifying the commit message, the changes can be committed to the repository. After a
successful commit, the Last Commit section is automatically updated.
Git Commands
SAP Business Application Studio supports Git commands from the Git view and from the command palette.
Commit (Amend) Changes

Enables you to add the current changes to the last commit.
Commit (Signed Off) Changes
Enables you to save your changes to the local repository. Sign-off is a line at the end of the commit message that
certi es who is the author of the commit.
Fetch Changes
Fetching enables you to download objects and references from a remote repository into your local repository. You can
then merge or rebase the changes into your project.
Merge Changes
You can incorporate all the changes from one branch into another in a single commit.
Pull Changes
Pulling is the same as fetching and merging. Pulling enables you to download objects and references from the remote
repository into your local repository, and then merge the changes into your project.
2/6/2024
Push Changes
The Push option incorporates all unsynced committed changes into the remote branch of the currently checked-out local
branch.
Discard Changes
Discarding removes all changes from the active branch. For example, discarding a new le removes it from the branch.
Stage and Unstage Changes
You can add or remove all the changes in the Changes section with one click.
Git Stash
Use Stash to record the current state to the working directory and then go back to a clean working directory. Your local
changes are saved and the directory reverts to match the HEAD commit.
View Diffs
Compare different versions of a le.
Commit (Amend) Changes

Enables you to add the current changes to the last commit.
You can combine staged changes with the previous commit instead of creating an entirely new commit. It can also be used to
simply edit the previous commit message without changing it.
1. From the SOURCE CONTROL view menu, click More Actions.
2. Select Commit (Amend).
Commit (Signed Off) Changes

Enables you to save your changes to the local repository. Sign-off is a line at the end of the commit message that certi es who

To merge a branch into another:
2. Select Merge.... The command palette opens.
3. Select the branch you want to merge into the currently active branch.
Dealing with Merge Con icts

Merge operations can fail because of con icts between the current branch and the branch you choose from which to
incorporate the changes. To see which les have merge con icts, navigate to the console or the explorer:
The console displays a list of all les with merge con icts.
The explorer displays "!" next to any les with con icts.
When you access a le with con icts, the con icts and the options for resolving them are displayed in the le.
Choose from the following options to resolve the merge con ict:
1. Accept Current Change: Apply only the changes from the current branch.
2. Accept Incoming Change: Apply only the changes from the target branch.
3. Accept Both Changes: Merge both changes (the rst change from the current branch and the second change from the
target branch).
4. Compare changes: View the differences (current and target) in a split window.

Providing Authentication to Git

You can use Basic or OAuth to authenticate your Git user.
Providing Basic Authentication

SAP Business Application Studio supports basic authentication, which means you must provide your username and password to
access your Git provider.
 Note
SSH is not available for on-premise Git installations.
To work with the Git view in SAP Business Application Studio, you need to store or cache credentials. Once you have enabled one
of these methods, you will not have to enter your credentials every time you use Git.
 Note
Doing this requires you to entrust your credentials to SAP and to a third party.
Cache credentials in memory for a short period of time. See Git Credential Cache .
Store credentials inde nitely in a le on your dev space. See Git Credential Store .
If it's supported, it's recommended to use a Personal Access Token (PAT) instead of a password.
For example, you can create a PAT in GitHub following these instructions. Other Git providers will have different ways of creating
PATs.
 Note
PATs are an alternative to using passwords for authentication to Git, and as such, they should be frequently renewed.
Providing OAuth Authentication to GitHub

In SAP Business Application Studio, when connecting to GitHub, a popup appears with an veri cation code you can use to set up
OAuth authentication.
1. When the popup with the code appears, click Copy the code and open GitHub. A new tab with GitHub opens.
2. Log in to GitHub, and paste the code obtained before.
3. Authorize the code.
4. Back in SAP Business Application Studio, select if you want to save your user authentication per session or per dev
space.
 Note
You can con gure these settings for your user authentication in the Preferences page:
2/6/2024
sapbas.git.github.oauth: Enables or disables OAuth authentication for Github.com .
sapbas.git.github.enterprise.oauth: If your administrator has not con gured a destination for your
subaccount, you can de ne a host/client ID.
Terminal
Opening the integrated terminal allows you to access the underlying system. The terminal is a convenient tool because you
don't need to switch windows or change the state of an existing terminal to perform a quick command-line task.
You can create multiple terminals open to different locations and easily navigate between them.
With access to the terminal, you can use any tool that is pre-installed on your dev space, such as maven and npm. You can install
additional tools, including global npm packages and other CLIs, using npm install. You can execute commands from the
command line, create new projects or modules, build applications, and deploy applications from the terminal.
From the menu, navigate to Terminal New Terminal to open the terminal.
To open the terminal at a speci c directory, right-click the desired le in the File Explorer, and select Open in Integrated
Terminal.

Runtime Version Management

SAP Business Application Studio uses asdf to allow you to select which runtime versions to install and use for developing your
application.
By default, SAP Business Application Studio de nes only one Java and Node.js version that is officially supported. The default
installed versions, are the Long Term Support (LTS) versions for Node.js and Java. You can check the currently installed version
in your dev space, using the following command in the terminal:
For Java: java -version
For Node.js: node --version
You can manually install and select a different version.
Install a Runtime Version

1. From the command palette, select Runtime: Install,
2. Select Node.js or Java as the runtime you want to install.
3. Select the runtime version you want to install
The new version will be available on your dev space and persisted using your allocated storage. Installing the version does not
change the default version used.
 Note
asdf can be also used from the SAP Business Application Studio terminal to install additional versions. See the All
Commands topic in the asdf documentation.
If you installed a Java version using the SAP Business Application Studio terminal, it is recommended to run the
Runtime: Add Proxy Certi cate to Java command via the command palette to allow connectivity to on-premise Java
repositories during the maven build.

Advanced search options
In the input box below the search box, you can enter patterns to include or exclude from the search.
If you enter a word, a search will be performed on every folder and le with the name of the word you entered in the workspace.
If you enter ./ before the word, that will match the folder name at the top level of your workspace.
Use an exclamation mark ! to exclude those patterns from the search.
Use a comma , to separate multiple patterns.
Paths must use forward slashes.
You can also use glob syntax:
* to match one or more characters in a path segment
? to match on one character in a path segment
** to match any number of path segments, including none
{} to group conditions (for example {**/*.html,**/*.txt} matches all HTML and text les)
[] to declare a range of characters to match
Some folders are excluded by default to reduce the number of search results that you are not interested in (for example,
node_modules). Open settings to change these rules.
Also note the Use Exclude Settings and Ignore Files toggle button in the les to exclude box. The toggle determines whether to
exclude les that are ignored by your .gitignore les and/or matched by your files.exclude and search.exclude
settings.
From the Explorer, you can right-click on a folder and select Find in Folder to search inside a folder only.

application-logs
To bind the resource:
1. Open the Run Con gurations view.
2. Select the desired con guration.
3. Select the desired resource.
4. Click (bind).
If not already logged in, you're prompted to log in to Cloud Foundry.
A list of all available services that match your resource type are displayed in the command palette.
5. Select the desired service.
The resource is bound to the service.
This updates the resource's con guration les. See the Advanced Options section to see the changes made to the con guration
les.
If you're binding to an SAP HANA service, a new connection called '<my_service_instance name>' is added to the
SQLTools view where your tables and data are displayed.
Unbinding the resource removes all of the changes made to the con guration les.
To unbind the resource:
1. Open the Run Con gurations view.
2. Select the desired con guration.
3. Select the desired resource.
4. Click (unbind).

1. If you bound your service to a service that requires Chisel to run:
2/6/2024
a. In the command palette, enter Tasks and select Tasks: Run Task.
b. Select openChiselTunnelFor-<service name>.
 Note
If Chisel is already running in the same port and space, skip this step.
2. Select the desired run con guration.
3. Click (Run) to run the project.
Prelaunch and dependent tasks are run.
The Debug Console opens.
4. Click Open in New Tab to view the UI in a new tab.
5. If you need to stop a con guration that is already running, you can do so from the Run and Debug view.
 Note
For more information about the tasks triggered by the run con guration, see the Advanced Options section.
Stopping a con guration from the Run and Debug view doesn't stop any running tasks.
Edit a Run Con guration

1. Right-click a relevant run con guration to do the following:
Con gure Environment - Open the environment le to view the binding con guration.
Rename - Provide a new name for the selected run con guration.
Show in File - Open the JSON le containing the set of con guration properties, with the name highlighted.
Delete - Delete the set of con guration properties from the JSON le.
Delete a Run Con guration

1. Right-click a run relevant con guration and choose Delete.
 Note
If you delete the launch con guration, it's removed from the launch.json le but the tasks remain.
Advanced Options
In addition to the launch.json le that is created as part of the new con guration, the following les are added or updated
when creating a run con guration:
Environment con guration le
A new environment le is created. After the resource is bound to a service, the le is populated with all the environment
variables required to connect to Cloud Foundry.
The environment con guration le is referenced from your Launch con guration.
2/6/2024
New tasks in the tasks.json le
The following tasks are added to the tasks.json le:
A technical generic task. This is the con guration's prelaunch task.
This task enables you to de ne additional tasks to run before starting the con guration (using the dependsOn
property).
A task that triggers the Apache Tomcat server running with the context of the application resources.
A build task that triggers the mvn clean install command.
Tomcat runtime con guration directory
When you create a new con guration, a new Tomcat runtime con guration directory is created containing the following
con guration les:
ROOT.xml (user/.tomcat/<configuration_name>/Catalina/localhost)
For example, /home/user/.tomcat/bookshop-srv-1/conf/Catalina/localhost
server.xml (user/.tomcat/<configuration_name>/conf)
For example, /home/user/.tomcat/bookshop-srv-1/conf
 Note
By default, Tomcat runs on port 8080. If you want to run multiple con gurations at the same time, you need to
con gure a different port for the additional Tomcat in the server.xml le. In addition, you need to change the
default ports 8009 and 8005 de ned in this le to other ports to avoid collision.
You also need to de ne a debug port (that isn't the default 8000), both in the 'run-tomcat' task in the
tasks.json le, and in the matching launch con guration in the launch.json le, which are all associated with
2/6/2024
the same run con guration.
You can modify the content of this directory to con gure Tomcat as desired for this run con guration. For example, you
can add libraries to be used at runtime or change ports. For more information, see Apache Tomcat .
Binding Process
Not all of the services that you want to bind to are publicly exposed. Therefore, we must use a secure tunnel to access them
from Cloud Foundry.
When binding to one of these services, we use chisel to open a secure channel to your Cloud Foundry space.
A new task is created within the binding step to run chisel. Run this task before running the con guration.
The environment con guration le is updated with the chisel and the selected service parameters.
The Tomcat con guration les are updated according to the chosen service.

MTA Development
Learn how to use the SAP Business Application Studio development tools for working with multitarget applications.
MTA Tools
The MTA Tools allow you to perform operations such as build, deploy, and validation on multitarget applications.
The MTA Tools are provided as an extension to SAP Business Application Studio and contains the following:
Cloud Foundry CLI

The Cloud Foundry Command Line Interface provides commands to deploy and manage CF services and applications.
For more information, see Using the Cloud Foundry Command Line Interface .
2/6/2024
The Cloud MTA Build Tool is a standalone command-line tool that builds a deployment-ready multitarget application (MTA)
archive .mtar le from the artifacts of an MTA project according to the project’s MTA development descriptor (mta.yaml le),
or from the module build artifacts according to the MTA deployment descriptor (mtad.yaml le).
For more information, see the Cloud MTA Build Tool user guide.
Cloud Foundry CLI MTA Plugin

A CLI plugin for Multitarget Application (MTA) operations in Cloud Foundry.
For more information, see the documentation .
Cloud Foundry Targets Plugin

This plugin facilitates the use of multiple API targets with the Cloud Foundry CLI.
Cloud Foundry CLI Copy Env Plugin

A Cloud Foundry CLI plugin to export application VCAP_SERVICES and VCAP_APPLICATION onto the local machine.
generator-basic-multitarget-application
The generator-basic-multitarget-application is a Yeoman generator for creating a basic (empty) multitarget
application.
cf-cli-service-info-plugin
The cf-cli-service-info-plugin is a Cloud Foundry plugin which enables the following:
Provides service key details.
Provides service credentials.
Calculates a VCAP_SERVICES json, compatible with how Cloud Foundry binds services to apps and persists to le.
Chisel
Chisel is a fast TCP tunnel, transported over HTTP, secured via SSH.
MTA Editor
The visual MTA editor allows you to edit the MTA descriptor (the mta.yaml le located in the root project folder) using tables
and forms instead of the text-based code editor.
The multitarget application (MTA) descriptor contains the metadata of all entities comprising an application or used by it during
deployment or runtime, and the dependencies between them.
2/6/2024
The MTA descriptor is automatically generated when an application project is created from scratch, and it is updated when the
project properties change or when a module is added or removed. However, not all the necessary information can be generated
automatically. You need to maintain the descriptor manually to de ne resources, properties, and dependencies, as well as ll in
missing information.
The MTA descriptor is written in the YAML format, which has strict syntax requirements. You can edit the descriptor in the text-
based code editor, but we recommend you use the visual MTA editor. The visual MTA editor allows you to easily navigate
between the objects in the mta.yaml le and helps you avoid dealing with the complex and sensitive syntax of YAML les.
To open the visual MTA Editor:
1. Right-click the desired mta.yaml le.
2. Choose Open With MTA Editor .
 Note
The visual MTA editor removes comments and formats the le. If you want to add comments, use the code editor. To open
the code editor, double-click on the desired mta.yaml le or right-click the le and choose Open With Code Editor .
If you edit the le with the code editor, it is important to use spaces rather than tabs for indentation.

Develop an App Using Different Subaccounts

You can develop your application with different subaccounts. You use one subaccount to create and run your application in SAP
Business Application Studio. You use the other subaccount, in a different region, to deploy your application to Cloud Foundry.
This scenario is useful in the following situations:
You're using a single development subaccount to develop many target accounts.
Your development account isn't in the same region as your target account.
Develop an app with two subaccounts as follows:
1. From your global account in the SAP BTP cockpit, create two subaccounts in two different regions. See Create a
Subaccount [Feature Set B].
One subaccount is for the design time environment and the other is for the runtime environment.
2. Complete the following steps in the design time subaccount:
a. Add the relevant SAP Business Application Studio service plan. See Con gure Entitlements and Quotas from Your
Subaccount.
b. Subscribe to SAP Business Application Studio.
3. Navigate to the Overview page of your runtime subaccount and click Enable Cloud Foundry. This enables you to deploy
the application to Cloud Foundry. See Create Orgs.
4. If you're using an external data source (outside SAP BTP) for your application, create the same destination, with the
same name, in both subaccounts. See Create HTTP Destinations and Add a System.
5. Log in to Cloud Foundry. Make sure to update the Cloud Foundry endpoint with the region of the runtime subaccount (for
example, change https://api.cf.us10.hana.ondemand.com to
https://api.cf.eu10.hana.ondemand.com).
6. Create a Project in the design time subaccount. Make sure to connect to the relevant destination during data source and
service selection.
7. Test your application by creating a run con guration. Make sure to bind the relevant destination.
8. Build and deploy your application.
Your application uses the runtime subaccount to deploy to Cloud Foundry.

corporate network to your dev spaces in SAP Business Application Studio, in both HTTP and WebSocket protocols.
For example, when connecting to a service on your corporate SAP system, which is located within your corporate network, you
might need to maintain the SAP Business Application Studio connectivity service host in your rewall.
2/6/2024
Use the host listed in the Connectivity Service Host column of the following table, according to your region.
The Cloud Connector should also be connected to this service host.
If your network restriction also requires explicit IPs, use the IPs listed in the Inbound IP column of the following table, according
to your region.

Security Guide
This guide contains the security elements for SAP Business Application Studio.
It includes information on the following:
Architectural Overview
Standards and Best Practices
Encryption with a Customer-Controlled Encryption Key
SAP Business Application Studio supports using a customer-controlled encryption key (CCEK) to encrypt les and
folders.
Malware Scan in Dev Spaces
SAP Business Application Studio scans the user les within the dev spaces for malware.
Security Recommendations and Considerations
The following sections present an overview of security recommendations and considerations for SAP Business
Application Studio developers and administrators.
Architectural Overview
SAP Business Application Studio is part of SAP BTP and the SAP Multi-cloud offering (AWS, Azure, Alibaba, etc.).
Developers (end users) use a web browser to access their own dev space, personal, restricted, and tailored. The dev space is a
Developer Virtual Appliance which includes everything a developer requires: development environment, technology stacks,
tools, security and connectivity instruments, developed source code, and applications.
SAP Business Application Studio is based on the SAP Cloud Foundry Business Application Pattern to provide Multi-tenant
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).
The Identity and Access Management (IAM) is based on SAP Cloud Foundry Authorization and Trust Management. Once the
developers pass the authorization process, they are granted access with appropriate scopes to the dev space.
2/6/2024
The developers can access different services (outside of SAP BTP), from the dev space based on the SAP Cloud Foundry
destination they created. The SAP Cloud Connector is used, in addition, to provide a secured access to the on-premise
landscape.

Standards and Best Practices

SAP Business Application Studio implements security standards and best practices to guarantee secured solution.
For example:
Enforce authentication and authorization
Encrypt communication
Prevent untrusted input
Audit
Encryption with a Customer-Controlled Encryption Key

SAP Business Application Studio supports using a customer-controlled encryption key (CCEK) to encrypt les and folders.
CCEK functionality is enabled by default for all dev spaces that were created from September 18, 2022 and onwards:
For all les and folders in your dev space, located under /home/user, the data is persisted in the physical storage in
encrypted form. Access to the les and folders requires the CCEK key to be enabled in the SAP Data Custodian Key
Management Service (KMS), which is the default case.
If you opt to disable the managed keys, then dev spaces in your tenant won’t be able to start and new dev spaces can’t
be created. As long as the managed keys are disabled, the les will not be accessible in SAP Business Application Studio.
You can still delete a dev space while the managed keys are disabled. Existing dev spaces will be reachable again when
you enable the managed keys.
Malware Scan in Dev Spaces

SAP Business Application Studio scans the user les within the dev spaces for malware.
The scan is triggered every 10 minutes for dev spaces in Running state.
If malware is detected, a noti cation is displayed and the user can delete the le or ignore the message.
2/6/2024
In addition, a corresponding entry is written to the audit log of the subaccount from which the user logged in, specifying the le,
dev space, and user name where the malware was found.

Studio developers and administrators.
